Exactly a week ago a new collaboration between Maya Felixbrodt, Samuel Vriezen myself &Studio Jonas Staal was born at Propositions #2: Assemblism (at BAK, Basis voor Actuele Kunst, in Utrecht). We were experimenting with an unusual combination of political activism and compositional thinking – resulting in an extremely uplifting and also mind bending live performance experience: the then heard voices & sounds, discussions, statements and question marks, will certainly continue resonating within us. Now hoping, actually planning,… to bring this to live again, in updated formats, new gatherings and assemblisms, somewhere in the (near) future.

Early 2018 I’ll be heading to Northern Africa as I am invited as keynote speaker at Fez Gathering III and a short artistic residency at Fez Medina Project in Morocco. Will be also my 1st (field recording) visit to that part of the continent.
